SABDEN Age Concern


i Arms for the final ,The monthly lunch- - lecture of the sea- eon club of Sabden son. Committee


' member Ann Ward gave an excellently researched and pre­ sented talk on “The Roman Garden”,:


. which she sub-titled “Or what the Romans did for Your Garden”. I t


• was fascinating to find how much infor­ mation is available, ; from classical texts by Virgil and Horace, and from research by archae­ ologists, - about what, and how, the Romans cultivated


: in the open spaces in their homes: the flowers they grew to decorate the house­ hold shrine, roses,


■ periwinkles and vio­ las and the wide variety of fruit and vegetables they grew to eat. Mrs Ward illustrated her talk with slides, books and photo­ graphs she had col­ lected during a five- year search through­ out the Mediter­ ranean for examples


'. to illustrate her pas- : sion for this aspect of Roman life. ;.

WITH fingers as green as their uniforms, young gardeners at Oakhill Col­ lege have won well- deserved praise from the Royal Horticultural Soci­ ety. ■ As well as staging such


prestigious events a t the Chelsea Flower Show, the RHS knows' that interest in gardening grows from the grass roots. That is why it is keen to encour­ age young gardeners through the “RHS Cam­ paign for School Garden­ ing”, which aims to sup­ port schools in-developing and actively using a school garden.


As p a r t of. the cam­


paign, th e Gardening Club at the 'Whalley col­ lege has received official confirmation that i t has completed Level One in the RHS Benchmark Scheme. This involves planning gardening activ­ ities inside and outside the classroom and provid-, ing evidence that pupils are actively participating. The greenest of young


fingers a t th e college belong to 11-year-old pupils Sarah Bryan, from Langho, Anna Shaw, from Barrow, and Sophie How- • ell, from Whalley, who have worked really hard


to make this happen. The Gardening Club is now s tarting to plant sugar snap peas and mange tout as p a r t of a 2009 RHS ■Trial to monitor any. pests or diseases observed and record which variety grows the biggest. But


■ perhaps the main chal­ lenge will be discovering whichvariety the pupils (and maybe some lucky teachers) prefer on their dinner plates from the home-grown greens. Our picture shows,


from th e left, Sarah, Anna and Sophie with their certificate from the RHS. (s)
